Marion Burns UK Children's Hair Expert​

I have always loved working with children. My career paths of hair stylist, school owner and teacher along with my experience as a mother have given me a unique understanding of children during the haircutting experience. I appeared on Dragons Den in 2009 and they didn't seem to think children's hair dressing was viable, but then again they turned down Tangle Teezer too! I have since consulted on the set up of many children's salons throughout the UK, and I now run an academy to teach my specifically designed methods of children's hair cutting for stylists who wish to specialise in this field. The principle of my methods promote the easy management of the child in salon resulting in a quick, professional and relaxed hair cut. The innovative cutting and language techniques, that have been honed and trained throughout the UK, are used at Raspberry and are exclusive to the Marion Burns Training Academy.

Marion was recently featured in national magazine BEST. The article focussed on the language, distraction and cutting methodology Marion has developed over the years and how her techniques have proved particularily successful for cutting the hair of nervous children, children on the spectrum and those children with additional needs.

Amy ​

As a qualified level 3 hairstylist along with the Marion Burn's training she has received Amy is an enthusiastic and popular stylist at Raspberry.

Iam Amy, mum to Jacob. I was a client with him at Raspberry. Jacob absolutely hated having his hair done and Raspberry was the first time he actually let some one do it. When Marion realised I was a hairdresser, she asked why I didn't do his hair and I laughed. When she said they had a job and the training would mean I would learn how to do kids I like Jacob and get them to be happy I jumped at the chance . I love my job, and the training I have been given gives me confidence with the children. I sometimes have cut hair dressed as Elsa as you can see !!!
